There were clouds and then sunshine for 78 Participants in the Ellison Wetlands seeking out 19 controls on water and land. The participants in this adventure survived mud and muck, as well as positive and adverse situations. Kudos to all that participated!!!! When looking at the results, note the time. There was a 2 ½ time limit for the score O . A few individuals got all or many controls BUT lost points for being overtime. It takes a lot or organization, logistics, and optimism to participate in a "canoe O".

We thank the Heritage Christian Association. They made it possible for ROC to use the Centolla (Wetlands) House, the perfect staging area for this event.

The ROC volunteers that made this event successful beyond all expectations:
Bob Bundy for getting the permits: Rick Worner for trying to get the Start Finish location;
Linda Kohn for printing maps;
Sandra Lomker for organizing the many, wonderful volunteers;
Carol Moran for the many, many tasks she did during the day;
Anne Schwartz and Elizabeth Hane for registering;
Drew Wilson for assisting with launching;
Karl Kolva for sitting on the dock and taking the finishing times and Linda Kohn for helping with finish;
Elizabeth, once again, for computing the points and times ;
Lindsay Worner for posting the times;
delicious baked goods and refreshments from Casey Lamb, Sandi Willsey, and Linda Kohn;
Joe Rayburn for mopping the floor, wow!
Lori Gearinger for sweeping & cleaning the kitchen;
Elizabeth for vacuuming up the last crumbs and O debris.
And last , but not least, the flag pick up crew: Gary Maslanka picked up the land controls: Erik Pieh and Elspeth Ronnander retrieved all the water controls.
